Researchers are still discovering genetic issues in lupus. You may be born with the genetic make up that predisposes you to develop lupus later in life. But lupus may or may not develop. In cases of genetically identical twins, both develop lupus in only about 30% of the cases. A baby born to a mother who has lupus might have neonatal lupus which usually clears on its own in six months or so. In some cases the infant might have congenital heart block, but not necessarily lupus.

∙ 11y agoNo, people are not born with lupus. A small percentage of babies born to mothers with lupus can have neonatal lupus, but this is always temporary.
It's not exactly known what causes lupus, but it is suspected that genetic disposition is a factor. Basically, if you have a family history of lupus, your chances of getting it are higher. But no one is born with lupus aside from the aforementioned neonatal variation.
